Tybalt In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Jones,Aly In the story Romeo and Juliet I feel that the males have done an expediently better job of grabbing my attention with characters like Tybalt, Romeo, and Paris there's an element of drama that the girls from the story can't compare to. First ,Tybalt, the fiery hot head, has had a tremendous influence on the plays dramatic feel with his short tempered personality and reckless behavior it's no wonder that Tybalt sets off most of the tragic events that occur in the story. Tybalt states "...I will withdraw but that intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitter gal" (1015). After Capulet warned Tybalt to not cause any trouble at his party Tybalt, vexed with Capulet for not being as furious as he was about Romeo being at their …show more content…
In the story Romeo, the lover who's in love with the idea of love, provides the story with a dramatic element that starts most of the drama in the story. On page 1013 of Romeo and Juliet Romeo says "O,she doth teach the torches to burn bright". Romeo says this right after he was mopeing about his one "true love" Rosaline. He later spots Juliet and in a flash falls in love with her beauty, not knowing who she was.
Last, Paris, in my option showcases a dramatic element by asking Lord Capulet for Juliet's hand in marriage when he has yet to meet her. Paris says "But now, my lord, what you say to my suit?"(1001) Paris has never met Juliet so he doesn't know what she's like. I predict that Paris may be the reason Romeo and Juliet's marriage would have to concluded.Juliet will probably pick Romeo over Paris because she's fallen in love with him and that creates yet another conflict in the story.
In the story Romeo and Juliet, the male characters have a more dramatic effect on the story, with characters like Tybalt, Romeo, and Paris there's a never ending conflict that constantly leaves you wondering what's going to happen next, and always leaves you guessing who's what male character is going to start the next page turning conflict that makes Romeo and Juliet such a great

    Tybalt wanted to fight Romeo and started calling him a villain and other things like that. When he was calling him that Romeo didn’t lose his cool or anything, he just stays calm and tells Tybalt he doesn’t want to fight. Tybalt says “No better term than this: thou art a villain.”(3.1.57-63) That is when Tybalt gives his reason he wants to fight Romeo. When Tybalt kills Mercutio that’s when Romeo loses it and that is the reason Juliet faked her death. And after Romeo finds out that’s when he wants to kill himself also. Tybalt had a very big impact on the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.…

    Mercutio and Tybalt have many differences that fuel their hatred for each other, even with these differences they are still extremely similar. Their differences and similarities contribute to the tragic ending. Their haste actions, the constant fighting, and their impacts on the play. Each of these components contribute to the tragedy.

    At the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare presents Tybalt as unnerved and disturbed. He does this in many ways and uses a lot of language features. For example in the opening scene of R&J we can tell that the characters are disturbed. For example Tybalt says: “art thou drawn amongst these heartless hinds?” Here, Tybalt is pressuring Benvolio into fighting; throughout the play, Benvolio’s role is a peacekeeper. Shakespeare uses the insult “heartless hinds”, which uses alliteration which emphasises Tybalt’s rage. This behaviour is violent and disturbs the peace.…

    Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin, was the living embodiment of the feud between the Capulet and Montague families. He represents the hatred the families share towards each other, showing how he has learnt from birth to hate the Montague family. He is seen as the instigator of countless events with Romeo and his friends, even killing Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio. After killing Mercutio, in an act of revenge Romeo kills Tybalt. Juliet, regardless of being related to Tybalt, even knows that Romeo “lives, that Tybalt would have slain, And Tybalt’s dead, that would have slain [her] husband” (Shakespeare 3.2.115-118).…

    After the chaotic brawl (1.1) Romeo still took the risk of attending the Capulet's feast for meeting Rosaline. In order to protect Tybalt's kin he had to act recklessly when he saw Romeo at their feast. He said, "What, dares the slave/Come hither, with an antic face, /To fleer and scorn at our solemnity?" (1.5.54-56). When Tybalt saw Romeo he expressed his insecurity about a Montague invading their celebration. He also said, "Now, by the stock and honour of my kin, /To strike him dead I hold it not a sin" (1.5.57-58). Here Tybalt's aggressive reaction was reasonable as Romeo was a Montage, his foe. When Lord Capulet prevents Tybalt from attacking Romeo for intruding their feast, he…

    The characters do have some differences, since they are created in another place and time. For example, Doc is more helpless than Friar Laurence; Det. Shrank shows the dark side (not the wiser side) of the law; the religious side of Maria and Juliet comes from a different motivation. There are also other possibilities for comparison--are the characters Anybodys and Action similar to Shakespeare's clowns in the way they comment on society? Are Rosalia, Velma and the other women Romeo's Rosalind--stereotypes of women by naive men?…

    Tybalt is most responsible for the deaths that happened in the play Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt is responsible for the death of mercutio in act three. After mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt, he said “Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man.” (3.1.95). This quote is saying that the wound is going to kill him and he suspects he will die soon. He wanted to fight tybalt for telling Capulet on them at the party. Romeo tried to stop it but tybalt acted first and stabbed mercutio. Therefore, Tybalt is responsible for mercutio's death. But before mercutio dies, he states “A plague on both of your houses!” (3.1.87). Mercutio wants his dying words to tell both the capulets and the montagues that their feud has gone too far. He was not a capulet nor a montague but he was still killed even though he was just affiliated with the montagues. Tybalt is…

    These deaths that occur appear in, and greatly impact, both the Montague and Capulet families. When Romeo first appears at the Capulet party, Tybalt instantaneously notices him, and becomes quite angry. Tybalt runs to Lord Capulet, to see he can be granted to permission to remove of Romeo. Lord Capulet responds surprisingly well to the news of Romeo arriving at the party. “Content thee gentle coz. Let him alone.” States Capulet in act 1 scene 5. However, Tybalt has a different opinion on what should happen to Romeo. Because of Tybalt’s differing opinion, he later, in act 3 scene 1, finds Romeo and proceeds to throw insults around. Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, becomes angry at Tybalt for insulting his best friend, and decides to fight with Tybalt. Romeo disagrees with this decision and tries to break up the fight. Mercutio ends up being stabbed by Tybalt, and then out of anger Romeo kills Tybalt. Because all of these characters had differing opinions, lives were lost, leaving long lasting effects on both…

    Romeo And Juliet Blame

    • 1057 Words
    • 5 Pages

    People may think that Tybalt is to blame because he got into a fight with Romeo ultimately causing Romeo to be banished. Tybalt did actively and willingly go to battle with Romeo in the streets. He also did kill Mercutio and caused Romeo to seek revenge for his friend. However, Tybalt attacked Romeo because he was raised to hate the Montagues. All that Tybalt knew was his family's hatred for the Montagues. Due to this, Tybalt got into a fight with Romeo, causing Romeo to get banished, and ultimately causing Romeo and Juliet to kill themselves in the end. In the play when Romeo comes to the Capulets's party, Tybalt says, "This, by his voice, should be a Montague." Quoted from pg. 1014. Tybalt said this because he gets angered that Romeo has snuck into the party unannounced. This causes Tybalt to grow even more of a hatred to Romeo specifically. Due to Romeo coming to the party without being invited and just for being a Montague, Tybalt's instincts tell him to fight Romeo. Were it not for the family feud, Tybalt would have little to no reason to hate Romeo, causing him to do battle with Romeo, ultimately causing Romeo and Juliet's deaths. Tybalt is not a major factor into the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. His hatred for Romeo and the Montagues was taught and grown into him, and due to the secrecy of Romeo, he felt offended by the uninvited Romeo to the Capulet…

    As a starting point, Tybalt, for instance, plays a minor role, but contributed to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt is the reason for Romeo’s banishment from the city of Verona. Unaware of Romeo’s recent marriage to Juliet, Tybalt wants to duel Romeo, not only because he loathed the Montagues, he once stated, “I hate the word (peace)/ As I hate hell, all Montagues and thee,” but also because Romeo attended the Capulet ball uninvited. Once Tybalt encountered Romeo, he insults him and labels him a “villain.” Due to Romeo’s refusal to fight, Mercutio steps in and fights Tybalt. Tybalt stabs Mercutio and fatally wounds him. This event provoked Romeo into slaying Tybalt for vengeance on behalf of Mercutio. Tybalt was insistent on keeping the Montague and Capulet rivalry going strong and was constantly looking for a fight. He never considered keeping the peace and was very hotheaded. He never considered the results of his actions. Consequently, in regards to the ruthless, notorious Tybalt and his actions, which eventually led to his death, Prince Escalus banishes Romeo from Verona, causing a major impact on the outcome of the play.…
